Shannon and I spent more than a few minutes this week trying to figure out a little hiccuppy sound that Genevieve makes when she's sleeping. Is it really a hiccup? Asthma? Something neurological, like Tourette's (the psychologist advanced this theory, not the historian). It's subsided now, after keeping us up a few nights ago, and I'm going with the idea that it's some sort of bizarre-sounding baby hiccup, induced by being a bit too full of milk. Whether or not that's the case, our cogitations are hilariously put in their place by the Tale of the Baby with the Maple Syrup Scalp.
